can't hurt to play a little make believe...

if skate 4 is ever made, i always really liked the idea of some sort of catch system, or some sort of system that would adjust the speed of fliptricks. no difficulty modes would be a nice touch too, hardcore is nice and all but it just feels less fun to play on than the standard physics in s2 or og. if anything it seemed like an afterthought.

I think the THPS series introduced something like this right about when I stopped playing it. I remember playing the demo for proving ground and you could go into super slomo and flick the board in any direction, and you had to release both sticks to catch the board. It sucked being in super slomo, but I always wanted to see something like that get expanded on. Even if it's something as simple as THPS2's "Big Drop" where you had to hit a button when you land or else you'd slam.



But I'm pretty sure that in the near future, there will be one single game that will encompass every single type of game out today. Like it starts off with a free roam city, and you can pick up a board and have a full skate game, or get in a car and have a full racing game, or go to the CIA and have a spy game, etc...

nail the trick from project 8? something like that, except not just willy-nilly flipping the board every which direction with your feet because that was really dumb and you looked dumb when doing it but yeah something like that. big drop would be great, too, since ive always liked seeing huge drops done irl but they're too easy to do in-game.

and god i want to see this game become reality.

[Muziiq]

i love

[replicant]

I myself am against adding Lengends to the game.

[shortz]

i really just want a better city again, more tweaks to the physics, and a day/night cycle. they could make some spots accessible only at night too (and vice versa) or something.

if they ever decide to do anything w/ bmx, it should be it's own separate game i think.

[Antwan]

Day Cycle in skate?
I won't say no until I see it
but I'm willing to bet I'd hate that idea..
hell half of us can't even stand the slight dark shades around PC let alone having an entire city slighty illuminated for whatever amount of time.

wee man? steve o? matt hoffman? rollerblades and bmx? bad ideas. no offense but thats the same stuff that helped kill the tony hawk franchise and while i know there wont be a skate 4 none of that stuff would help. and most of those people are not skateboarding legends

[adda89ldn]

Clay has a point....

lulz

[Antwan]

I think a skater's participation is their own..
The only person from tony hawk in the skate series is coach frank
Jason Lee..? edit> I guess P-Rod is in there too

Seeing a character like that almost makes me think that skate 4 wouldn't be to far off from the legends idea..

look at all the crazy guys too
dr pepper
meat
bonez

It wouldn't affect your experience, so why does it matter?
It almost seems like you have grudges against certain people haha

I don't know if I agree with bmx killing tony hawk either
but that's my opinion..
I liked American Wasteland.. probably my favorite one.
I even played Project 8 and some of Proving Ground.

No other game has insane wallride powercable grinds
sticker slaps
parkour
If anything skate killed tony hawk
in the sense that when tony hawk was "good" no one cared
there was no drive to be realistic and it was more aimed toward fun
and competition.

[xxCALM KILLERxx]

lip stalls...

[shortz]

hell half of us can't even stand the slight dark shades around PC let alone having an entire city slighty illuminated for whatever amount of time.

this could be remedied by developers tweaking the graphics. i know what u mean about PC, but thats cuz the shadowed areas are really just too dark. thats why there are gonna be certain areas only accessible at night, etc, so its a whole nother skate experience. you could also be given an option to couch surf and skip time in-game.

they should also bring back the security. it doesnt have to be like how it was, but it adds realism. i think its kind of dumb to have a whole city/town cheering me on in this perfect little skate society. maybe have some npcs insult u, and others compliment u.

[pawnluvguitarist]

the perfect skating game:

landing system of 1080 snowboarding for big drops
grind balancing of Thrasher
Manual balancing of THP8 (with the bar turned off so you have to watch how the skater is leaning)
The smoothness of the OG engine and the quality of the OG city
With all the features of Skate 3 and more

[briden]

Night cycle would be sick if you could bring out a generator/lights like they have scattered about the sanatorium and downtown night CAP. I've thought about that ever since the New York level of THPS2.

Lol..living in a dream world man!
That would be fucking epic..
snow landings are so fucking buttery too.

honestly don't see the hype in skating at night time with generators though..
Who thinks after dark would've been better in day time?

I said this about every skate game before they came out..
I hope they take their time.. ha

That same dedication that went into OG.. creating a new way of playing skateboarding games
If they had kept that in mind I think the franchise might have been better off.
I think they took one crazy idea and ran with it in 2 and 3.. making small additions.
Don't get me wrong I've come to find my way around the franchise but certain things could've been smoother..
so I say;>>agree with pawn

Reverts, Footplants, Boneless and Hippie jump Physics from skate 2

[Wiltzuh]

Mostly i would like to see more different style...like every skater could have own personal style. And you could advance your style and touch to your board. That'd be fucking EPIC !
Actually sickest would be if u could pick different style for every trick. You could choose how you bone your kickflip or how you scoop your tre. That'd be my wish.

But yeah, we're all living in dreamland...no skate4 coming at least until 2015. That's what they said. And i'm sad about that

[kajigger]

Well I think I might have the best solution for those that are yes/no on a 24 hour day cycle. Make to where there is a light "switch" in the pause menu. Then you have the choice of riding in the day or at night. I would have also loved to see the dark catch system evolve into catching caspers or rails.

[briden]

honestly don't see the hype in skating at night time with generators though..

If you ever do it IRL, it might change your opinion, but I could see it being worthless to alot of people. It could be something like in skate2 when you had to hire big black for security, or call that dude to get rid of skate stoppers, but you could bust out the genny and lights, set them up however you want, to me that would add a whole new experience to both skating and filming in the game. Or hell use them in the daytime, god knows there's a lot of PC that's way too dark.

[Ayreon]

best idea for skate 4 and it know it might be a bit far fetched....

...make it.

[Boxerman08]

no skate4 coming at least until 2015. That's what they said. And i'm sad about that

ha pointless, we'll all be dead by 2012

Edit: Generators and the day cycling stuff would be way too sick. And what wiltz said too would be dope, that would add a shitload of creativity to the game. And scratch out a lot of pedobear's "ideas" lol No offence, but rollerblading and BMXing in a skate game would ruin it imo, and some of those "skating legends" don't even skate lol.

But one thing that would be sick, that I've spoke with someone with recently or seen it somewhere (can't remember haha), was that the teleportation stuff by pressing start and going to a location and all, kinda kills the realism factor. In OG skate, there was the metro/train if you wanted to go to a place, would be sick if this was added, or atleast would be good for "career mode" and you could go anywhere anytime in freeskate or something like that. Would be sick too if you had a "home" too, where you'd stash all your shit, like clothes and boards and what not, and you'd have to buy stuff at a skateshop. You gain money with coverage, making demos, videos, shooting photos, etc.

I've got more ideas, but I'm pretty lazy and tired right now, so I'll post later, if I feel like it haha

[i am a snail]

if it comes in 2015 maybe that'd mean they'll take their time on it

[shortz]

lol@boxer's post

[Mage505]

Here are my honest opinion ideas:

All skaters (Including Big Black)

City - Give it a new name and base it off of the East and West coast, maybe throw in some random middle USA-like spots. The City needs a Day/Night cycle.

Clothes - 10-15 clothes for each brand. Include custom t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, plaid shirts and plaid pants (Gives you 2-3 color options), the colors we see in Graphic Creator and let us choose pants size options such as: Skinny/Tight, Fitted, Baggy. Give us way more shoe options! Monster, Amp, Red Bull, Rockstar and all the energy drinks should have clothes.

Boards - We deserve things like 10-15 decks per brand, Custom Griptape, Berrings and custom Trucks

Tricks need to be improved by adding:
Impossibles
Cigarette Flips
You get it the unique flips.

Skate.Parks

You should get unlimited space for parks and way bigger maps and even throw in a Create your Own City. We should be able to DL unlimited parks (Idk max, please tell though)

You heard my ideas and I hope you all enjoy it.

P.S. More advanced body customization

[irydebmx4130]

i think there needs to be halfwidth quarters kickers and wedge pieces. there needs to be corners for the kickers and def half sized rails.

[irydebmx4130]

also i think the darkslide button is stupid i think it should be for tail slaps/lip stalls

[Permy]

who the fuck is rick thorn?

and the only reason I or anybody hates the shadows in some parts of the city is because they put you in black face/body
fuck skate 3


OH
and if anybody has a code for that dr pepper shit so they can use the dr pepper character, I would appreciate, i hold on dearly to the silly


edit:
graveart

no skate4 coming at least until 2015. That's what they said.

..
please show me where someone has confirmed this

[Roke]

I've always preferred rl night footie to day footie (adds the danger component to the shot). I think they should incorporate Kinect technology ONLY in the Create-a-Skater setup of your character. For real skaters, being able to mo-cap your own style for tricks would make your character ENTIRELY unique to you (your ollie style, flip tricks, etc). After that phase though I prefer playing with a controller because the flickit system is fantastic.

Only other suggestion would be to make a HUGE engine like a Liberty City from gta4. It's been suggested a thousand times but the replay value of that game might stretch to a half decade (easily). This may require a new console with the capability to make every single object in say Liberty City grindable (this would take months to maybe years for the development team to achieve which would put this kind of a game 3-5 years away, which, I'm cool with

they need to have legends like: Tom penny geoff rowley Jim greco Jamie thomas heath kirchart mike maldonado erick ellington peter smolik jerry fowler danny montoya richard mulder josh kasper ronnie creager adrian lopez i can go on for days about legends.......

[adda89ldn]

you can do stalls in this game, you just need to know how to do them.

look at any of pawn's mini ramp vid's for example..

You from Boston?

look at any of pawn's mini ramp vid's for example..

But 90% of them look like shit, I mean no one's ever done a good looking rock to fakie. They could easily mo-cap some stalls and work that into the game engine, THAT would be sick.

SG's done some, I do them all the time when skating tranny, just have to hold R1 and/or do a little carve

[briden]

Fair enough, just weird to see someone put Fowler on that list, and this coming from a big fowler fan.

SG's done some, I do them all the time when skating tranny, just have to hold R1 and/or do a little carve

I know tons of people have done them, but the key part of my post was "good looking"

[pawnluvguitarist]

I guess good looking is subjective, I thought SG's Rocks and disasters looked amazing in OATS 10.

[briden]

Ah yeah you're right; when I said "good looking" I actually meant realistic.
